For several of those, they would no longer exist.
I would put a monkey in charge of them for the mere symbolism of it.

Washington was the first president to use troops on the government's own citizens.
Honestly I think Grover Cleveland was the best president.

Should have used Jefferson instead.
I like all of the choices above. I like the monkey idea too.

I know that there are a lot of positions that we should eliminate, but I think we could still allow ourselves the luxury of creating a few more positions:
Chief of Security for the presidential toilet John McCain
Chief presidential imposter in the event of assassination threats Lindsay Graham
U.S. Ambassador to Antarctica John Bolton

Attorney General (who was really only a legal adviser/ DoJ comes in 1870):
Postmaster General was eliminated, and I don't see a need for it. I posted this template, in case others wanted to use it.
